What is the plot of Dear X starring Kim Yoo-jung? When is the drama releasing?

Dear X follows Baek A-jin (played by Kim Yoo-jung), a woman who faced domestic violence in her childhood. As a result, she learned to hide her emotions and look into the minds of the people. Usually a kind and generous woman, A-jin unleashes wrath on anyone who angers her. Eventually, she goes on to become a top actress. Yun Jun-seo (played by Kim Young-dae) is her friend who is always by her side. But he decides to bring her down.

Then there is Kim Jae-o (played by Kim Do-hoon), who also suffered physical abuse at the hands of his father. He finds A-jin to be a kindred spirit owing to their troubled pasts. Im Na-rae (Lee Yeol-eum) is another actress who has feelings for Jun-seo. Kim Yoo-mi and Hong Jung-hyun are a part of the secondary cast in the drama. Dear X is based on a webtoon of the same name by author Ban Ki-woon. It is slated to release sometime in May 2025, with 12 episodes in all.
